(S)FTP: Uploading a new file with the same name replaces exiting file

[jkaberg]

Per title, whenever I share a file to my sftp which has the same filename as an exiting file (on the sftp) it will replace the sftp one

Perhaps an option to append (or prepend?) chars/numbers to the filename?

This affects paste and file uploads AFAIK

One of the reason why I didn't add auto renaming to not replace file because then each upload needed to check is file exists which would slow down uploading process and not preferable.

@Jaex Thats totally understandable, but perhaps make it optional? And the onhover baloon could imply that an additional delay needs to be accounted for when using this option

I don't mind if it takes an additional 1-2s

There is also another reason that "early url copy" option won't work with it. Because this option copies url before upload start. But when file exists detected it will require new name so that early copied url will be invalid.

I think this is a problem too, just now I've observed that. I think a solution would be great here - a random name or string attached to the uploaded filename for example...
